• Let's grow together.  I believe we all have something to offer.  With a community of like minded people to bounce ideas off and cheer on through our private Facebook Group and Monthly Q&A's.  We will be better together than we could ever be alone.

Excited to learn how to create your own scrap quilts? Wahoo! I'm excited to take you on a scrappy adventure.

I'm so excited to see the quilts you will design and create.  

I've taken everything I've learned from mentors, fellow quilters and my artist mother to create Discovering Hidden Quilts.  

In fact DHQ's is more an adventure than class.  Enabling you to tap into your unrealized talents.  Build on them and become the amazing scrap quilter you were meant to be.

By the end you will be creating beautiful one of a kind quilts to share with those you love.  

Discovering Hidden Quilts is the First Course of it's Kind

• Allowing you to learn in the comfort of your own home

No need to haul all those mountains of scraps, your sewing machine, rulers and more.  Stay in your cozy room and create to your hearts desire.

• Start where you are.  No need to buy more rulers and other fancy tools

  If you have a sewing machine, a few scraps, a rotary cutter and mat.  You are good to go.

• Available when and where you are.  Heedless of geography, with on demand pre recorded video lessons

  DHQ is there for you when you are available.  No matter where you live, if you work,  have small children at home or anything else that may make your schedule crazy.  The nuts and bolts of this class is pre-recorded.  Watch when it works best for you.  Plus once you purcase the class it's yours FOREVER!  Watch and rewatch as often as you like.

• Provides ongoing access to the instructor. Questions encouraged and answered within 24 hours through comments and live Q&A

  Lessons are prerecorded.  However I want to be there for you.  Have a question? Not sure how to proceed?  Just ask and know your question will be answered quickly.  Most often within 24 hours.  I do take Sundays off.  Plus during the course there are live Q&A's  each month in our private Facebook group. 

• Meet other Scrappy Adventures around the world.  Receive encouragement and help as we learn together.

  Learning in a group is a great way to build and solidify skills.  Never feel alone.  Bounce ideas and gain inspiration.

 Let's talk about the most common reasons you're not diving into those scraps and creating beautiful quilts.

Reason 1: YOU ARE NOT GOOD WITH COLOR

That colorful mountain of scraps can be intimidating.  There are bright bits, muted pieces and everything in between.  How did you know what goes with what?   Forget that you  dress yourself every day.  You combine color, prints and style every morning before you head out for your day.  I'm betting you look pretty good. Yet you've convinced yourself designing a scrap quilt requires more skill than it takes a kindergartener to get dressed each morning.

Reason 2: YOU WERE NEVER THE ARTISTIC ONE

Modern scrap quilts are full of  pattern and design.  How do you know what blocks to combine?  What elements to use to make things pop and shine?  I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.  See how patterns come together as we play on the design wall.  Test out your designs before you cut and sew on the many quilt plans.  Learn time tested hacks to ensure you'll be designing one of a kind scrap quilts like a pro. 

Reason 3: YOU ARE VERY BUSY

A day job, family, housework... how are you suppose to find the right scraps?  Let alone figure out how to assemble them into a quilt. Won't that takes hours, and hours to figure out?  Let me share ways to sort your scraps so they are easy to find.  Ready when you are to create the unique quilts you've dreamed of.   

SERIOUSLY!: THESE ARE JUST EXCUSES.  HERE'S A SECRET!  NOT EVERYTHING YOUR BRAIN TELLS YOU IS TRUE.  I KNOW TRYING NEW THINGS IS HARD. PLUS MANY OF US HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW FUN DOING OUR OWN THING CAN BE. OR HOW RELAXING A LITTLE CREATIVE PLAY REALLY IS.

Let's tap into our younger self.  Have a little or A LOT of fun.  Rebel in a good way.  Create something beautiful.  And show our brain what is possible.

• You need a scrap busting design class that lasts longer than a few hours. 
• Gives you tips and tricks to build your color and design confidence.
• Allows you a frame work to build your skills, all at your own pace and on your own time. 
• Plus gives you an ongoing way to ask questions and get help when your stuck.
